I've been "quilting" this week.
Haha
I don't sew.....I don't quilt......
but I LOVE to make quilt-related cookies.

There's nothing more beautiful than a handmade quilt.
So.....in my book.....that means it MUST be made into a cookie.

And buttons......I did buttons three different ways this week.
Photos will be fun. :)

This week the CookieCrazie Facebook page toppled over the 10,000 fan mark.
Wow......my gratitude is overflowing to all of those who follow CookieCrazie.
I am humbled to think that others are interested in my cookies and how I make them.

Generally, if there is a part of the cookie that I want to stand out more,
I will pipe it last and try to add extra glaze to it for a more "puffy" look.
In the case of the bow ties and neck ties,
I saved the "knotted" part for last to give it more dimension.

Outline and flood the bottom part of the neck ties and the outer part of the bow ties.

Add patterns as desired.

All of the patterns below were done wet-on-wet (pipe details onto wet glaze).

Allow the ties to dry for a couple of hours (or just one hour in food dehydrator on low)

and then use a long thin tool like a cake tester to add some folds to the ties.

Outline and flood the knotted parts of the ties and include any patterns used on the knot.
